Calcium

The most plentiful mineral in the body and one of the most important. The body needs it to build and repair bones and teeth, help nerves function, make muscles contract, clot blood, and allow proper function of the heart. Almost all of the calcium in the body is stored in bone. The rest is found in the blood.
